Applications of Case Study Second Edition November 7, 2008
I am a clinical psych. grad. trying to finish a case study dissertation. Also, an adult dignosed with ADHD and was looking for more help and structure. This book was somewhat helpful, but would have been more helpful for proposal than actual dissertation. Was looking for more help on dissertation structure. Wish I would have had this before I struggled with a proposal. But not so much help for dissertation.

This book was exceptional in explaining the basic tenets of case study research. In re-writing my methodology section of my dissertation, this book provided clear illustrations on how to go about case study research. Worth the read!!!

A must for anyone using case studies August 15, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Everyone is telling stories through case studies but what do they mean. How can you tell a good case from a poor one? Yin does something that few people have done -- provide a strong academic explaination that is understandable to the business person. Too often strong academic concepts are explained in language that makes the less appealing and seem weak to business people.br /br /Yin's examination of the different types of case studies and study methods helps people understand what they are reading when the read a case study. br /br /This very accessible book is a must for researchers and those who want to understand what cases are and how to use them.
